Sorvausvälineitä

Sorvausvälineitä, commonly referred to as turning tools, are specialized implements used in the craft of woodturning and metalworking. These tools are designed to shape and refine workpieces that are rotating on a lathe. The primary function of sorvausvälineitä is to remove material from the workpiece through a controlled cutting action.

The variety of sorvausvälineitä is extensive, with different shapes and sizes tailored for specific tasks. For woodturning, common tools include scrapers, gouges, and parting tools. Gouges are characterized by their hollowed cutting edge and are used for shaping curves and hollowing out. Scrapers have a flat edge and are used for smoothing surfaces and removing fine imperfections. Parting tools are narrow and sharp, used to cut material off the workpiece or to create narrow grooves.

In metalworking, sorvausvälineitä, often called turning inserts or lathe tools, are typically made of high-speed steel or carbide. These tools are designed for tougher materials and often feature replaceable cutting tips. Common types include roughing tools, finishing tools, threading tools, and knurling tools, each engineered for precise material removal and surface finish. The selection of the appropriate sorvausväline is crucial for achieving the desired outcome and ensuring the longevity of both the tool and the workpiece. Proper maintenance, including sharpening, is essential for optimal performance.
